ZOE JAKES
Zoe has been said to have her own unique take on Tribal Bellydance.
Currently she is touring with Bellydance Superstars, The Yard Dogs Road
Show, and The Indigo. She performs with Jill Parker of Ultra Gypsy, Aziza,
Liz Strong, and was a member of the Suhaila Dance Company in 2001. Her
interpretation of bellydance is enhanced by Classical Indian Kathak, which
she studied at the school of Chitresh Das. Her colorful dance history
includes performing with the Extra-action marching band and David Byrne at
the Hollywood Bowl.

ARIELLAH
A founding member of The Indigo with Rachel Brice, and most recently
featured on the first of its kind “Gothic Belly Dance” DVD, Ariellah
performs tribal fusion and gothic belly dance. She also studied classical
ballet with the Royal Academy of Dance from London for 12 years. Her style
infuses Middle Eastern, American Tribal Style, and cabaret belly dance
with Indian and Flamenco overtones, with a modern, very dark, unique
flavor.

UNMATA
"UNMATA", a Sanskrit word meaning "divine inebriation," is a collection of
urban tumbleweeds inspired and dedicated to the art of fusion in dance. A
multi-award-winning belly dance fusion troupe based in Sacramento, CA,
Unmata's teamforce is known for extreme choreography layered with
inventive movement, and for tapping into an unmistakable divine
inebriation on and off stage. Amy Sigil and Unmata have taught workshops
and performed nationwide at events such as last year's Spirit of the
Tribes and Domba's Tribal Mania II in Arizona. Each year at Halloween,
Unmata hosts The Blood Moon Regale, Sacramento's largest weekend of
workshops, dance fellowship, and a fully-produced showcase of student and
professional dancers.

MAVI
Mavi is a Washington, DC-based belly dance artist known for her sensual
grace and compelling presence. She has shared the stage with national and
international acts, including Peter Murphy, the Dresden Dolls, & Corvus
Corax. She performs and teaches with tribal fusion dance company, Romka,
and is also a member of DCTribal.
